The 74th Annual Paniolo Parade and Festival Week is a week-long cultural celebration in Waimea, Hawari, dedicated to preserving, perpetuating, and sharing the unique history and living traditions of the Hawaiian paniolo. Presented by Aloha Festivals Island of Hawai'i,the 2026 festival carries the theme"Aloha i ka Hawaiian Cowboy!" and brings together families, ranchers, cultural practitioners, musicians, businesses, community organizations, and visitors for a series of educational and community-centered activities. Festival Week features paniolo-themed events including community gatherings, music, food,traditional practices,the Paniolo Cook-Off,the Clyde"Kindy" Sproat Falsetto &Storytelling Contest, and opportunities for participants to learn about Hawai'i's ranching heritage and the generations who have carried these traditions forward.The week culminates on September 19, 2026, with the 74th Annual Paniolo Parade through Waimea,followed by a community ho'olaule'a at Spencer"Kalani"Schulte District Park.The parade showcases horseback riders, pia and paniolo units, cultural and community organizations, floats, ranching families,youth groups, musicians, and businesses. More than an entertainment event, the project celebrates Waimea's identity as one of Hawai'i's most significant ranching communities and creates opportunities for cultural education, intergenerational participation, and community connection. By bringing paniolo traditions into public spaces, the festival ensures that Hawai'i's ranching history is not simply remembered, but actively practiced, shared, and carried forward for future generations. *44. 501(c)(3) Mission Statement Waimea Hawaiian Homesteaders Association, Inc.

Success will be measured by the number of stations deployed, their coverage along the parade route, participation and attendance, and post- event evaluation by organizers and volunteers.These funds will help ensure that spectators are not simply watching a parade, but are hearing the stories and understanding the people, history, and living traditions being represented. 1 F x °. 27xo0. 0vc x , n 'G ' °' -a fD = a o_ O.
